Hi, folks - hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.

We bought a 5 lb. bag of green (unroasted) Ethiopian Yirgacheffe from
CoffeeBeanDirect but, having used about half of it, we have no further
need for it. If someone is willing to pay the postage, I'm happy to
send it to you. We ordered it on October 1 of this year (I just
checked) and received it 2 days later.

I will send Priority Mail - not sure if it will require the small or
the medium box, hopefully the small, so I think we're looking at a
maximum postage cost of $11.

If anyone's interested, send me an email to steve dot freides at gmail dot com.

I thought I was the only person on earth who doesn't like Ethiopian coffee.
Everyone else seems to think its wonderful, and I never want to taste it again.

For me, at least, there are a lot of coffees I don't care for - Kona
is probably the most well-known.

We kept trying to like the Ethiopian, trying various roasts, by itself
or blends with other coffees, but after having gone through about
2-1/2 lbs. of the stuff, we just don't want it in any form here. We
did try.

My current mission - and the Ethiopian Yirgacheffe was my first try -
is to find a single-source coffee to replace the "Six Bean Espresso"
that we currently blend, 1/3 of that and 2/3 Sumatra. I'm going to
try something from Central America next. I noticed that Whole Foods
sells a blend that's part Sumatra and part from a Central American
country that, at this moment, I don't remember.

I ramble - happy Thanksgiving to everyone.

I would be glad to take it off your hands Steve!
